FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to the field of packaging and cooling of power electronics components. In particular, the invention relates to an electronics package.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The switching speed of power semiconductors is limited by parasitic inductances and capacitances of the electronics package carrying the power semiconductors. One solution for circuit boards to reduce the parasitics is to embed the power semiconductors and their connections within the substrate of the circuit board. This permits to create short, metallic interconnections, which may minimise distortions due to parasitics.
[0003] An embedded technology also may provide the opportunity to embed EMI shield(s) with a high level of isolation from inductively and capacitively coupled noise into the circuit board, which may eliminate the need for an additional surface-mounted shield. With higher power and higher switching frequencies, for example achievable with wide bandgap semi...
